Basic Film Metadata without Closed Captions Annotated

Indicates if closed captions are available. If closed captions are not available, use the reason_code attribute to explain why. If the value is false, you must supply SDH or subtitles.
Attributes include:
role: Refers to the data file for captions; "captions" is the only supported value.
available: Indicates availability of captions. Accepted values include "true" or "false". If you have delivered closed captions within the same package, the value cannot be "false".
reason_code: Supplies the reason closed captions are not included. Note that the reason_code attribute is not allowed if available="true", and required when available="false". Accepted values are:
"NEVER_IN_US": Use this reason code for movies that have never been broadcast in the United States. This reason code is allowed only when delivering SDH.
"IN_US_NO_CAPTIONS": Use this reason code for movies that have been broadcast in the United States, but never with captions. This reason code is allowed only when delivering SDH.
"NO_CC_SDH_FOREIGN_LANGUAGE_ENGLISH_SUBS": Movies that are not in English and have not been broadcast in the U.S. can have SDH or subtitles in place of closed captioning and should use reason code NO_CC_SDH_FOREIGN_LANGUAGE_ENGLISH_SUBS.
